It's 7AM on the west coast, which is pretty much smack dab in the middle of the night for me. I fed my little Toy Fox Terrier, Bridget, and decided to run a backup of my drive before passing out again in my hyperbolic chamber.

The moral to the story.

Back your shit up, people! No excuses. Go get an external drive and backup essential files. If you don't, and a drive fails, you are in a world of anguish.
I once lost a drive with about a years worth of data. I was able to recover about 30% by sending the drive to DriveSavers. The cost? $2500.

A $100-200 external drive doesn’t sound so bad now, huh? If you use a Mac, get SuperDuper! from Shirt Pocket software. Outside corporate backup needs, it's the best Mac backup utility by far. If you buy it, Tell Dave that Darin the singing geek sent you.

Back to sleep.
